We have no doubt whatever, that this

terms. We most cordially invite and re-
quest Mr.. Robb to visit Wallace and the
ground spoken of and see for himself.
We are confident that no better place can
be offered. Wallace Register.
The above article is sufficient ex-
PLANTATION of why the Wallace Register
has actually been issued one time in three
months without containing an assault on
the editor of this paper. Commissioner
Robb, of course, will lose no time in get
ting to Wallace, and ascertaining from
Mr.. Wilson on precisely what terms the
general government may let the state
of Kansas have the Ft. Wallace Military
Reservation for forestry uses. Any thing
which We can do to help this negotiation
along Will, as matter of due courtesy to
Mr.. Wilson, be done only too suddenly.
1t is true, there are few difficulties in
the way. The forestry law specifies that
the land used for forestry purposes shall
be donated to the state. Now, it is not at
all certain, in the first place, that Mr..
Wilson would permit congress to donate
the reservation for this purpose; and, in
the second place, if Mr.. Wilson would
permit this donation to be made, congress
is not in session to make it. Aside from
this, it would seem to anybody who has
lived for nine years in the Trego-G Cove
region, which constitutes the center, from
east to west, of the north half of the Kan
sas bufalo-grass belt, chat the Fort Wal
lace Reservation is entirely too far east
for the location Of the forestry on the U.
P. Why not take it out to Hugo, Col
orado?
But the World is laying down no die
tum regarding the establishment of this
station. This is Commissioner Robb's
work.

THE TRUE PRINCIPLE.

The Illinois legislature are already
agitating the question of passing a State
law to compel railroads to lower their
passenger rates. The conclusion is at
once jumped at that this is done in
retaliation for the cutting off of passes.
This is not exactly true. It is in retalia-
ton for the disposition shown by the
railroads to punish the travelling public
because Congress saw fit to pass the inter
state commerce bill. For instance, it is
proposed to raise the price of 1000 mile
tickets and to diminish the baggage allow
ance. This is pure spite. Neither the
railroad managers or anybody else sup
poses that the object of the Interstate
commerce bill is to raise rates, or that it
is necessary to Cypress the public to COM
ply with its provisions. It is this rail-
road spite work which, If persisted in,
will provoke retaliatory legislation, as it
is called. The mere abolition of the pass
system. will not do it, AtcAisoa Cham
Pion.
In the next to the last sentence the
Champion talks unvarnished common
sense. Railroad companies can no better
afford to run counter, in their business
transactions, to the general interest of
the people than the people can afford to
tolerate unprovoked legislation to cripple
the roads. In railroad legislation in the
United States the true policy, as rule,
has been evaded. On the one hand, the
railroad companies have oftimes been
successful in warding off legislation
whose contamination was demanded by
the highest public considerations. On
the other hand, the people have, at times,
been inclined to push legislation which
was perhaps Unjust to the railroads, on
the principle that to "get even" is some
times a virtue. Legislation to control
the operations of railroads is concededly
correct as far, at least, as the weight OF
public sentiment is concerned. A decent
respect on the part of the railroads for
this principle will create the spirit of
fairness in the people, and all will be well.
The last sentence OF the Champion
article is the absolute truth. Yet the
World is in favor of legislatures redu-
cling the present rates of passenger tariffs
precisely enough to give to the travelling
public the advantages which the rail
road companies are reaping by the abol-
ton of the pass system. The reduction
In Kansas, for instance, would be only a
fraction of one cent. But this reduction
would be something to each traveler--a
great deal, strange as it may sound, to
very many. For several years, with the
free-pass system in operation in Kansas,
railroads have been content with collect
ing three cents mile from the paying
portion of the travelling community.
Logically, then. while collecting fares
from every traveller, the rate per mile can
be reduced without injury to the rail-
roads

I'm the following, the Lacrosse
CHeftain makes good talk on subject
of great Importance: "By an act of the
recent legislature, the date of annual
school meetings was changed to the last
Thursday in June This is several weeks
earlier than the date under the old law.
All reports of the district officers are due
at the time of the annual meeting. This
change is good thing. In gives the
people opportunity to determine in regard
to their schools early in the season. 1t
is better for the people and better for the
teachers than the old plan"

THE TWO CITY CAUCUSES.
Reports Of the Proceedings.

CAUCUS OF WEDNESDAY, MARCH -.
Pursuant to a call, our citizens met on
Wednesday evening at the Opera Hall in
mass convention, and nominated city
ticket to be voted upon at the coming
city election.
Many Of our ladies were in attendance,
and were initiated into the workings of
politics, thus manifesting the desire to
both beautify and purify political assem-
blies.
The house was called to order by Mr..
W. H. Damn, and proceeded to organize
by calling Mr.. Lee Monroe to the chair.
Miss Sally Cakes was nominated for
secretary, but as the ladies were some
what novel in the management of politi-
cal bodies, the lady politely declined the
honor.
Some discussion over minor matters
was had, as is usual, and the meeting
proceeded to the nomination of ticket.
Mr.. A. L. Gleason and Mr.. A. FL. Blair
were put in nomination for mayor, and
Mr. Blair declining, Mr.. Gleason was
nominated by reclamation.
For councilmen, Messrs. B. J. f. Han
ma, ". NJ. Mccoy, r. G. Wilson, e. F..
Porter and A. III. Blair were placed on
the ticket.
Mr.. S. M. Hutzel was nominated for
police judge.
The silvern voice of the many ladies
voting on the different nominations crea-
ted an elevating feeling, and caused some
of the old-time politicians to modify their
voice, and assume a behavior more gentle
than was the custom in such places.
A committee, consisting of D. B. Kel-
ley, Fl. f. Morse and J. L. Miller, was
appointed to report the proceedings of
the meeting, and assume the duties as
secretaries, as the meeting had mad
yertently overlooked the absence Of a
secretary.
OF the ticket, we will say that it is
composed of the best men, and our city
administration will not be misguided in
any manner with such enterprising and
competent managers at its helm; and If
large attendance and harmony signifies
anything in convention, the nominees
will have no opposition.

GOVERNOR BARTLETT has struck the
very keynote OF progress in his In
augural when he urges technical edu'
cation in our schools. The youth oi
the land is being drilled in mental
matters greatly in disproportion to
their muscular development. A boy
who has lifted nothing heavier than
a pencil or a school book until he
reaches the upper end of his teens,
need not be regarded with much
astonishment should he develop a
decided aversion to manual labor.
1t is very desirable thing that all
manual labor should be abolished,
and that every citizen should be en-
dowed with a competency which
would lift him above the need OF
earning his living. But, inasmuch
as this Millennium cannot be reached
by act of Congress, it is wise to look
upon life in a practical manner, and
prepare for its duties as they actually
are. Governor Bartlett tells how
this is to be best done when he calls
for technical training in the schools.
Less "ologies" and more trades is
the need of the hour. Technical edu-
cation will develop the muscles with
the mind, and fit boy for something
requiring the use of both. AS al
present managed, the schools en-

Mr.. PERRY BELMoNT's bill intro
duced in the House at Washington
the substance of which will be found
in the telegrams in the HERALD to-

variations. The sound will wake in
the ears of the slumbering British
lion memories of the days when
"Yankee Doodle" went to the words
"54-4O or fight" The "Canuck, "
whose trade with the great Republic
is cut ruthlessly off all the way from
Newfoundland to Vancouver Island,
will feel like blessing the "blue
nosed" fishermen SO heartily as to
sink them, their smacks and bait to
the bottom OF the deepest spot in the
Atlantic. The prohibition OF cars
from the Dominion entering the
United States is carrying the war into
Africa in true American fashion.
The Dominion farmer and trader
who finds himself thus shut up in his
"pent-up Utica" will not find it at
all the same as being "shut up in
measureless content" Belmont gives
the "Blue Noses" Roland for their
Oliver, worth living in degenerate
days to witness. There are those
still living as American citizens, who
could once say. as did the Romans,
that their honor was greater than
that of kings. Perhaps the golden
age will come back again, when the
starry flag will not be insulted with
i'm punity by every petty power on
earth.
